Yesterday was the last big day of hockey before the Four Nations tournament break.

There were 14 games on the schedule, so we got to see a lot of highlights.

Here’s a recap.

1. Tony DeAngelo scores into his own net

A few weeks ago, defenseman Tony DeAngelo left the SKA of Saint Petersburg to return to the NHL by signing with the New York Islanders.

Things have been going well for DeAngelo so far, except that yesterday, he really seemed out of sorts as he very clearly shot the puck into his own net.

Here’s the sequence.

Obviously, DeAngelo felt very bad about it as seen in the sequence, especially since this goal happened in the third period and allowed the Minnesota Wild to take a 5-3 lead and ultimately win 6-3.

In short, a night to forget for DeAngelo.

2. A “Green Man” jumped onto the ice in Vancouver

Do you know the “Green Men”?

They are the classic fans dressed in green costumes in Vancouver, who go wild when the camera is on them.

Well, last night, a “Green Man” somehow managed to get onto the ice, which resulted in the following moment during a commercial break.

He even took the opportunity to hug the referee while being escorted off the ice.

Overall, a funny moment that overshadowed the big 2-1 victory of the Vancouver Canucks against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Canucks owe a big thanks to Kevin Lankinen, who made a remarkable save against none other than Auston Matthews at the end of the third period.

3. 10 rounds of shootout between the Blues and the Blackhawks

We witnessed quite a shootout last night between the St. Louis Blues and the Chicago Blackhawks, as both teams went all the way to the tenth round.

Regulation time and overtime were not enough to break the 5-5 tie, and many shootout attempts were needed.

In the end, Radek Faksa scored a stunning goal against Arvid Soderblom to give the St. Louis Blues a 6-5 victory.

4. The Lightning now has four scorers with 25 goals or more

The Tampa Bay Lightning is once again recognized this season for having many very talented players who can score goals at any moment.

In fact, yesterday, by scoring two goals in the 6-3 victory of the Tampa Bay Lightning against the Detroit Red Wings, Brandon Hagel became the fourth player on the team this season to reach the 25-goal mark.

Indeed, Brayden Point (30 goals), Jake Guentzel (27 goals), Brandon Hagel (26 goals), and Nikita Kucherov (25 goals) all have 25 goals or more and are all in the top 15 NHL scorers.

It’s quite an achievement for the Lightning, which once again has several players racking up points in abundance.

In the case of Hagel, it’s important to note that he has 60 points, which is a pace of 91 points at the moment.

5. Jamie Benn celebrates in an unusual way

In an 8-3 victory for the Dallas Stars over the poor San Jose Sharks, the significance of the goals diminishes at a certain point in the game.

And that’s exactly what Jamie Benn wanted to show last night by celebrating his goal, which was the eighth for the Stars.

As soon as he scored, he skated to the players’ bench to sit down without celebrating as if nothing had happened.

A rather amusing moment for the Stars’ captain.
